Where Did the Puddle Go?

See puddles dry up in the sun, and wet things get dry.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child sees that puddles and wet things dry up in the sun. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 24

After the rain, there are puddles. Where does the water go?
The sun shines on the puddle. Little by little, the water dries up and goes into the air.
Wet things dry in the sun too: a towel, hair, a painting.
Your turn! A puddle sits in the hot sun all day. Does it dry up? Yes!
Try it with a grown-up! Paint a wet spot on the sidewalk, in the sun and in the shade. Which one dries first?
